It's not Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman,
but nevertheless it is still entertaining. Remember, Cathy Lee Crosby
was the first Wonder Woman on ABC network television. Though, she
didn't don the costume of Wonder Woman comic book fame; the film's
costume designer created an original one with a red, zip up one piece
with a skirt and blue tights and of course, complete with white stars,
an eagle emblem on the left side of chest and most importantly the
golden belt/girdle with retractable lasso. This incarnation of Wonder
Woman didn't have super powers but demonstrated hand to hand combat,
karate and agility. She was a master of the javelin; in both throwing
and combat use. In one scene, she uses her magic lasso and attaches it
to one of her bracelets using it as an anchor to climb over a glass
barrier that she had been entrapped in. More or less this first attempt
by ABC, is more human and realistic than that of her comic book
counterpart. But that doesn't negate the fact that she still is a
mighty and admirable super-heroine. However, it lacked the essence and
characteristics of the comicbook Wonder Woman- simply the audience
couldn't accept a reimagined Wonder Woman. However, this writer is of
the minority who enjoyed this. This version of Wonder Woman makes a one
panel appearance- along with Debra Winger's image of Wondergirl in DC
comics's blockbuster mini-series entitled "Infinite Crisis"(issue #6).
They are shown being from an alternate Earth in the DC multi-verse,
battling villians of that Earth. Consider this as a testing ground sort
of speak for the Wonder Woman series that eventually came to fruition.
This writer wished that ABC could've given Cathy Lee Crosby a second
adventure. Still it's early 70's network television faire. Loved that
costume though.
